NIGP 02543: Compressor, High Pressure, All Sizes and Models

NIGP 02543 Compressor, High Pressure, All Sizes And Models is an Item code under which state and local governments procure high-pressure compressed-air systems for operational support across aviation, transit, and facility-management contexts. Recent solicitations show that this code captures both complete compressed-air system installations—including compressor units and auxiliary drying equipment—and compressed natural gas (CNG) infrastructure serving fleet operations. Middle Georgia State University issued an electronic Request for Quotes in March 2026 for a compressed-air system to support its Eastman Aviation Campus, seeking a single qualified supplier to furnish, deliver, and install the complete system. The City of Albuquerque's transit authority, ABQ Ride, concurrently solicited RIN credit management and renewable natural gas procurement services tied to a CNG fleet operating approximately 45 vehicles with expansion planned to 69 units by late 2028, indicating that compressed-gas infrastructure and sustainability-focused fleet operations drive procurement activity under this code. Issuing bodies include university systems, municipal transit authorities, and county school districts; the recent opportunities show activity spanning Georgia, Florida, and New Mexico.

Middle Georgia State University posted its eRFQ on March 31, 2026, with responses due by April 30, 2026, under the Georgia State Purchasing Act. The City of Albuquerque issued RFP-2025-729-TRA-GS on February 26, 2026, requiring proposals by March 29, 2026, and evaluating respondents on RIN credit generation and revenue-sharing strategy (450 points), cost proposal (200 points), experience and qualifications (200 points), and method of RNG attribution and compliance (150 points); the contract term extends to three years with optional extensions of up to three additional one-year periods. The Pinellas County School District's pressure-cleaning solicitations, while nominally targeting facility maintenance services, reference compressed-gas or pressure-washing equipment but do not directly represent compressor procurement. Vendors pursuing opportunities under this code should expect requirements for five years of prior experience managing similar equipment or RIN credits, comprehensive insurance coverage, and demonstrated capability to support specialized operational demands such as aviation fueling or transit fleet sustainability.
